Blinded by the Light

I was thinking one day why more people don't come to Christ? There is a drawing in their heart that longs for Him, but yet they are lost still. They are just blinded by the light.

How can someone who is blind know what color is?! Color is an idea that only someone with sight can understand or know. For the person who is blind, there is shape and texture, but color? Never color. So how can one describe the beauty of a sunset or the beauty of a star lit sky while the norther lights dance across the sky! You really cannot full grasp the concept till you see it for yourself. So how can someone who has never seen God understand Him. He is unseen and unlike anything we have seen. The closest thing that God resembles is a Christian, but that is the crappiest shadow that you could ever think of to relate to God! So how can you describe something so infinite to something so finite?

There is a story called "Flatland" it is the story of two dimensional objects who meet a three dimensional shape. They come up to a sphere and see a circle, even though he is a sphere, they can only see in two dimensions. So now the sphere has to explain three dimensions to a group that can't seen it.

Theses are the examples of the problem that we as Christians have! We have to explain the unexplainable to the lost! We are called to share Christ with the lost of this world, but it is so hard to share something that you almost can't comprehend when you have not seen it. That is why Jesus said in John 20:29, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." I mean seriously, how can you believe that God sent His Son, His Son! To die for the rapists, murderers, adulterers, and all the sinners of the Earth! That is ludicrous to the lost.

Thank you God that it is not our job to make them believe, that it is our job only to preach You. I thank you that it is you that moves in their hearts, that you might bring all men to repentance and into a relationship with you!
